Living the Gospel - Defending the truth

By Chuck Colson

Interview with John Beckett


PF founder Chuck Colson contends that the Biblical worldview is neither arcane nor academic. It’s a concept that is approachable to us all because we all have a way in which we view the world and our place in it.

John Beckett, chairman of the R.W. Beckett Group, conducts this 53-minute interview for the Intercessors for America, a nonprofit organization that encourages prayer for the nation, our leaders and the Church. Beckett calls Colson “a sterling example of a life that has been transformed by the Gospel.”

Colson explores topics including the importance of the Church investing in the culture, the clash between Christianity and Islam, the “sacred responsibility” of parents and grandparents to teach younger generations biblical truth and the necessity of Christians to become students of nonbelievers so they can explain the Christian faith both “intelligently and winsomely.”

I encourage you to take the time to watch this video, or read any of his books to better understand why it is so important for Christians to get involved in public life, media, and culture.
